Stephen went "above and beyond" in caring for my dogs and my home during my time away. The fussy pups received special attention tailored to their needs. They had lovely long walks, lots of play time and even some nice behavioral training. In addition, Stephen also worked with another sitter to ensure there was no lspse in care on the few days he had previously booked with another client. Not only is he the epitome of professional, but my pups really seem to enjoy their time with him - I arrived home after an extended trip to hsppy, calm dogs - so nice!

CJ took care of our two dogs at our house over the weekend and did a fantastic job. He is a great communicator, followed our instructions to the letter, took great care of the pups and left the house spotless. He even washed the sheets and remade the bed. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again. Thanks CJ!

Elissa is a responsible young lady. She would often watch my chihuahua beagle mix named Halo when I needed to go to work. He was always super excited to see her everytime they would go for a walk. She would bring a bottle of water, bags and even treats. I would highly recommend her to anyone who truly cares about their companions and needs someone who they can trust to do their job right.

Barbara was extremely thoughtful in housesitting and took great care of my dog, who loved her! I arranged for her to stay with my dog a bit last minute, and she was wonderfully thorough in making sure she knew exactly how to best care for him including his special diet, medications, favorite walk spots, any quirks. She was very communicative and I loved the regular updates of how my dog was doing. Absolutely recommend and will happily book with her again!

This was the first time I left my dog with someone who wasn’t family overnight. Austin asked a lot of good questions that made me feel at ease during our meet and greet because it showed he was experienced and cared. He sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the weekend. It seems like my dog enjoyed his company and I look forward to their next stay together.

Alejandro N. would be an excellent sitter for Rover. Alejandro easily walks 2 young, strong dogs of 70 pounds+ and 60 pounds+ each, on leash, together, for walks. I have also seen him care for smaller, older pets with special needs with care and sensitivity. Whoever selects Alejandro to care for their four-legged family members will have made a good choice. I use Rover, and if I were in the same area, I would choose Alejandro
